In his opening remarks during the commissioning ceremony, Mu’azu explained that the project was aimed at harnessing the electricity potential of the dam to boost power supply in the state and benefiting communities.

He noted that the dam has a reservoir capacity of 2.8 billion cubic metres and processes over 50 million litres of water per day, adding that the function of the dam is not limited to water supply but can irrigate over 30, 000 hectares farms and generate power.

“Other functions of the reservoir include fisheries and flood control. So now, with the massive structure and capacity of this power plant, it will generate 40 mega watts within 65 days,” he said.
